I haven't used a V cut in easily over 30 years. Have you tried it on a Torpedo? I always thought that is where they worked best. I knew one guy who used to cut a cross into parejos. Years ago, they were smaller, and they didn't work great on bigger ring ga. cigars.
I like it, looks like a nice, well made piece, what does the V stand for?![]()
I have that one as well but prefer the cut of the Colibri version. I found that the Xikar cut a bit too shallow for my liking.

Not sure if you mean everything I said or just a portion. So, yes really.Really?

Regarding too open or too closed, yea, I get that. There was a time when I used to like certain cuts for certain cigars, regardless of size. (I've been smoking cigars a good 40 years) That hole on the end that we draw through has a lot of "Physics" going on. I worked Aerospace for many years. A lot of the heating systems use absolutely no heating elements, just specific size apertures and chambers to heat the forced air. It's really pretty heady.
ETA: Oh, and The Colibri seems to be getting a good reputation. I've heard/seen a lot of positive comments on it. I can't think of any other V Cutter where I've seen that. Maybe they really gathered some real "empirical data" to determine the size of the cut.
Most of the time straight cut, but I do like a punch on a PSD4 or some of the Cuban Petit Coronas.Do you still find yourself choosing the "right cutter for the moment" or more the "right cutter for the cigar"?
